Maintaining aspect ratio of 4x3 footage in a 1080i project?

If I want to bring NTSC 30i footage into a 1080i project in Avid, Avid re-sizes the 30i footage to stretch it into a 1080i frame. Is there any way to force Avid to keep the original aspect ratio so the footage enters Avid as 4x3?
 
if you select maintain ratio in your import settings, it otta brnig it in with blanking around the rest of the screen.
 
Wow. So simple. Didn't see that option. Thanks man. Guess I didn't see it because the option is worded as "maintain square" or "maintain non-square." Maintain aspect ratio would have been much more obvious to me.
